Help! Google maps are not loading on some devices

I have created an app that uses the Google Map API. The map is not showing up on some Android devices. The devices are Sumsung S8, Sumsung Galaxy Note 9 & 10 and an LG V40.

On most devices the map shows fine. But on (at least) the above devices the map element is blank. I have a loading indicator within the map element, and that doesn’t show up either.

Anyone have ideas or help? I’ve tried a number of things (like making sure the div had a 100% height and width, upgrading Android-cordova, upgrading Typescript, etc. Any ideas anyone has or any debugging ideas are very appreciated. (I’ve tried to use the Android Studio emulator, but it is such a PIA to use, I gave up after trying to get it running after a week).

I’m on Ionic version 5.4.2 (however, I upgraded to this - I started the project in ionic 3).
